Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture |
|
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral |
|
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall |
|
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall |
|
Elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her |
|
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager |
|
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall |
|
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall |
|
Today is for you |
|
They laid it out for you |
|
For you |
|
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you |
|
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too |
|
All of the cards and all of the time it took |
|
Soon it's all lines of red in a leather book |
|
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door |
|
Your creeping feet where they've never been before |
|
Today is for you |
|
They laid it out for you |
|
For you |
|
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you |
|
But this feels so unnatural Peter Gabriel, too |
